I never imagined that a simple walk along the beach would lead me straight to a place where reality and fantasy embrace. That’s how I discovered the Ara Macao Reserve, a natural sanctuary that holds one of the Pacific’s best-kept secrets: Playa Fantasia, a hidden spot surrounded by palm trees, gentle breezes, and the song of birds that look as if they were painted by a rainbow.
🌿 What is a reserve?
Before coming here, I thought a reserve was just a fenced-off piece of jungle… But now I understand it differently. A reserve is a home. It’s a small piece of land and sky protected so that life can flourish freely. Here, the trees grow without fear, animals move at their own pace, and the air smells fresh and pure. It’s as if nature can finally breathe in peace.
🦜 What is the Ara Macao?
At the heart of this reserve lives a very special being: the Ara macao, or as it’s lovingly known here, the scarlet macaw. The first time I saw one, it was perched at the top of an almond tree, and the sun made its red feathers glow like fire. Its wings blend red, yellow, and blue—and when it flies, it’s as if the sky is laughing.
The scarlet macaw is not just a bird. It’s a symbol of freedom, love for nature, and hope. Many cultures consider it sacred, and after seeing one up close, I truly believe it holds a bit of magic.
💚 Why We Must Protect Places Like This
Spending time in the Ara Macao Reserve made me realize how easily natural beauty can disappear. Without ongoing protection, places like Playa Fantasia Jaco could vanish. That’s exactly why these reserves matter: they allow future generations to hear the call of the scarlet macaw, walk along vibrant trails, and connect with a world that still holds wonder.
When we protect a reserve, we protect life—not only for the animals but for ourselves as well. After all, by looking after these spaces, we preserve our connection to something deeper, more genuine, and profoundly alive.
